ok, the only way I could get it to turn on was to take out the SD card and then use the pinhole reset. so I think that qualifies as the first 2.6.1 bug |

It sounds like at least some user feedback was taken into account (the more noticeable battery alert), which is good. Is the book title still constantly visible while reading epubs? |

It wouldn't apply correctly until I removed my external SD card, then did the soft reset. Then it applied perfectly. Then I put in my SD card and it froze for a very short time, maybe 30 seconds (no message regarding SD card), and then went back to functioning normally, with the SD card's books showing. Edit: actually, it might have worked on a soft reset if I'd waited 3 or 4 minutes. After the first very long freeze, I was less patient on the soft resets. but the first one I waited quite a long time before trying anything. However I think there may be an issue when starting up from off, that it treats the SD card as new books every time ...I've described it in post #14 below.

2.6.1 Bug
Now my glo is behaving like I'm adding all the books on my SD card every time I power off and on. Without removing the SD card. Not just that it freezes on startup at the third tile of the happyface screen for 3 or so minutes, but it also shows a tile "238 new books added" each time.

Excellent!! I will upgrade from 2.5.1.
Numbering After 2.5.2, we have 2.6.1. Next one will be... say... 2.7.4? Anyway, who cares, EPUB book title is gone, I don't ask for more; Last edited by roger64; 06-07-2013 at 12:26 PM. |
